Kyoto Brighton Hotel

We were travelling with our child and my father, so we booked two twin room. After staying in two small rooms in Osaka, we had a real pleasure to enjoy the Kyoto Brighton's spacious and comfortable rooms. Hotel is really 5 stars, with great service. Housekeeping and Room service were excellent. Food from rooms service was good. Room was clean and air con was convenient to use. The only drawback is that hotel is far from Kyoto station. There is a shuttle bus that runs to Karasuma Oike station (subway), and from there you can have a nice walk around town.

Beautiful large room by Japanese standards Walk in shower and cute bath Robes and slippers provided Happy hour in hotel bar from 530-730 saves you a lot on their drink prices.

Everything about the Hotel and staff were first class. The shuttle bus which took you downtown in 7mins and returned was a bonus.

I would recommend this hotel because the room was very well sized and comfortable; and the staff were really helpful and attentive. The concierge (whose English was exceptional) was incredibly helpful The only disadvantage for me was that I would have preferred a more central location.

My husband and I went to Japan Kyoto on a honey moon on April. Before we got there, I was concered about the location of this hotel. However, Kyoto is not a very big city. we are soo happy that we choose this hotel. It is clean, our room is big, we are very happy with everything about this hotel. I recommend this hotel to couples. There's a free shuttle every 10 min from hotel to the main subway backforward, it makes so easy. The front desk is so helpful. They told me the closest bus stop, which is only 5 min walk from the hotel. With the Kyoto bus 1day pass ticket, we could just take the bus and easily get around. The whole trip is pleasant. We are very Happy with this hotel. Japanese hotel is so clean. Love it.

well located and modern feel. Staff were helpful and cheerful

Fantastic Hotel, very helpful staff. Very clean -completely renovated in 2010! Only negative is that it is near Imperial Palace area and not near the touristy areas of Gion, where all the restaurts and temples.Cab ride is $15 each way.

Cleanness, room spaces, amenities and services were all excellent! Even though water pressure of their shower! I really enjoyed the stay at this hotel.

We had a good stay with our kids - would've preferred some more veg options on the menu. The staff aren't very comfortable with English though they are really helpful and try their best to help. The concierge was really brilliant and her tips were really helpful in finding the best places to visit on our three day trip to Kyoto! The staff even brought small bedroom slippers and toothbrushes for the kids without asking!! The bathrooms were very Japanese and full of gadgets :-) Our room was very spacious given that we had three queen beds. The location is quite central and cab rides to most key locales are affordable. The hotel is not on the pick up or drop off for tourist buses doing city tours but not too inconvenient as the nearest pick is minimum fare on a cab (about 7 minutes). We had a great trip to Kyoto - thank you to the really friendly staff...

The Brighton spoiled us. We weren't expecting rooms in Japanese hotels to be so large. The staff was tremendously helpful and friendly. We made much use of the free, extremely punctual bus service down to a centrally located subway stop. Highly recommend.
